Offensive gameplan

Actually Payton designs his offense around the weapons he has, he doesn't force his players into a certain system. I remember reading before the season how when he was hired he looked at film of Deuce McCallister to see what plays work well for him and put those plays in his offense. He did the same thing when we signed Brees and Bush. I can guarantee you that if we had or if we happen to acquire an all-pro, pass catching tight end in the future Payton would fit him into the offense. He knows how to use the weapons he has. Right now our tight ends are good blockers so that is how they are used.

My point exactly, in the preseason we didn't have one(pass-catching TE) and there weren't any available, so he went with what he had. It would be great to get a guy like the three you mentioned, but there is a reason why there are only three of them. I think our first need via draft or FA is youth at CB and DT.
